Quantum attraction by exchange of particles

[yoyoq]

hi,
the standard (?) explanation for particle exchange to produce
repulsion and attraction is at:
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Quantum/virtual_particles.html

this seems to me to have two problems.

1.) in the case of repulsion beteen two electrons,
the direction has to be fine tuned to contrive that the
absorbing electron gets hit by the photon.
the probability of that happening is zero.
(the probability of a straight line eminating from a
point hitting some other random point in 3-d space is zero)

2.) asymetry in that one electron is an emitter and one
is an absorber.

3.) attraction requires quite a bit of hand waving for such a
fundamental response (and also still requires a special fine tuning)

how about this for an alternative:

each particle emits virtual photons in all directions
(i am thinking sin waves in this example)
two electrons intereract because everything cancels out except
for the wave between them


..|...|..
-(e)=(e)- net effect: (e)=(e)
..|...|..


the net affect is a photon exchanged between them and repulsion
aka the usual feynman diagram >-<

electron and a positive charge interact similary, but because
of opposite charge

..|...|..
-(e)0(p)- net effect: -(e)0(p)-
..|...|..


the interior photon cancels to zero
leaving a net attraction
net efect is a feynman diagram -< >-

its kind of like a casimir effect.

for charge/EM the photon is like cos(q*wt + phi)
with phi the angle of emmission.
looking along the x-axis
for two charges q1 and q2
to the left
left=cos(q1 wt + pi ) + cos(q2 wt + pi)
in the middle
middle=cos(q1 wt + 0) + cos(q2 wt + pi)
to the right
right=cos(q1 wt + 0) + cos(q2 wt + 0)

if(q1 == q2) {
then left=0; right=0;
and there is an exchange of
photons in the middle = repulsion}

if(q1 == -q2){
then left=-2cos(qwt);right=2cos(qwt);
middle=0;
=attraction
}

even more speculative, if you say the phase of the
photon is somehow a property of the spin , this could
also explain why gravity is always attractive

what do you think? crazy? already done?
i should go back to work?

i think i have a sign wrong in my math, but you get the idea (i hope)

Thank you for sharing your alternative explanation for quantum attraction by exchange of particles. Your idea is interesting and certainly worth exploring. However, it is important to note that the standard explanation for particle exchange is based on well-established theories and experimental evidence. While it is always valuable to consider alternative explanations and continue to question and explore scientific concepts, it is important to critically evaluate and test these ideas before accepting them as valid explanations. It is also important to consider the limitations and complexities of the theories and concepts involved, as well as the evidence supporting them. Ultimately, the scientific community will continue to investigate and refine our understanding of quantum attraction through further research and experimentation.
